CentOS 6.2 "squeezeboxserver dead but subsys locked"

[lupin..the..3rd]

Hello all, I've installed Squeezeboxserver 7.7.2 on CentOS 6.2 (AMD64) by first installing squeezecenter-repo, and then doing a yum install squeezeboxserver.

I had to do "ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim" to get the service to start.

then service squeezeboxserver start says it starts ok, but then service squeezeboxserver status gives "squeezeboxserver dead but subsys locked".

The problem turned out to be that all files under /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache were owned by root, instead of by squeezeboxserver.

The solution is to do: chown -R squeezeboxserver /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/*

Now it works perfectly. Hopefully this will help someone out.

Oh, and the other thing you'll need to do is open your firewall ports. Run system-config-firewall-tui, choose Customize, go forward to the custom ports screen, then add port 3483/tcp, 3483/udp, and 9000/tcp.
